Rui Chen
Introduction:
My name is Rui Chen, and I am broadly interested in water desalination and resource extraction enabled by current and new membrane-based technologies. I have spent my undergraduate working on biodiesel production from sludge digestion by oleaginous yeast, and contaminant removal by MOF-based adsorbents respectively, and I decided to focus on physicochemical processes during my Master at Yale, which leads me to Dr. Lin's group. Here I work on membrane fabrication strategies to bridge the permeability-selectivity transport and mechanistic studies on pore transport across polymeric membranes.
